Arbuscular mycorrhiza is the most common form of symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant. The fungal hyphae penetrate plant cells and develop branching ...

Launched in conjunction with the 6 th International Molecular Mycorrhiza Meeting (iMMM 2023), which took place in Cambridge, UK, from September 25–27, 2023, this Research Topic has yielded seven ...

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient for coffee seedlings. To meet this requirement, coffee growers usually apply di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), which is highly sensitive to local price fluctuations.

Their mysterious origins and complex lifecycle continue to fascinate scientists and food enthusiasts, and their use in ...

Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that makes plant roots more welcoming to beneficial soil microbes. Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that makes plant roots more ...

Fairytales and folklore often depict mushrooms and toadstools as magical little homes where forest folk live. With increased rain and humidity, lawns and parks are dotted with these mystical fungi, ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A gene mutation in Medicago truncatula enhances plant root partnerships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi, improving nutrient uptake ...

Nuclear calcium oscillations initiate plant–arbuscular mycorrhiza and nitrogen-fixing bacteria symbioses for nutrient acquisition, with a newly discovered autoactive CNGC15 mutant enhancing ...

In this study, which appears in Nature, experiments showed that the gene mutation in a calcium signaling pathway enhances endosymbiosis in farming conditions. Excitingly, the team used genetic ...

Researchers in the group of Dr Myriam Charpentier discovered a mutation in a gene in the legume Medicago truncatula that reprogrammes the signaling capacity of the plant so that it enhances ...
